How to shoot marvelous monochrome photos with your digital camera--without touching Photoshop
By Mason Resnick
August 21, 2006
Here's one reason why I love digital photography: Almost all digital cameras, from modest, sub-$200 digital compacts to pro DSLRs, have some kind of setting that lets you shift from color to monochrome shooting modes by simply pressing a couple of buttons.
Here's one reason why I love digital photography: Almost all digital cameras, from modest, sub-$200 digital compacts to pro DSLRs, have some kind of setting that lets you shift from color to monochrome shooting modes by simply pressing a couple of buttons. Unlike film cameras, there's no need to switch rolls, or to carry two cameras loaded with color and black-and-white film. Of course, the fancier the digital camera, the more options you get, but most cameras at least have good ole' monochrome, allowing you to shoot black and white to your heart's content.Short article, huh?We're not done--not by a long shot.The many flavors of monochromeWant to shoot sepia-toned pictures? Control contrast and sharpness in camera? Emulate the effect of putting a contrast-controlling (yellow, orange, red, or green) filter over your lens? Now, many compact cameras and digital SLRs offer some flavor of black-and-white that goes beyond simple desaturation. At least some of these features may be in the digital camera you own now, and if you're in the market for a new digital camera, you can insist on these features when you go to buy one. Why not simply shoot in color and convert to black-and-white in Photoshop? This is a method used by many photographers, and if your camera is limited to a simple black-and-white mode it may be the best way to go--especially if you aren't sure if you want your final result to be color or black-and-white. There are several advantages to shooting black-and-white in-camera (assuming you have some flexibility). For starters, you can use DPOF or another direct-to-printer or direct-to-lab method and make black-and-white prints without post-processing on a computer. This saves valuable time.A learning tool Even more importantly, in-camera black-and-white shooting can be a powerful learning tool. The instant feedback provided by the LCD preview images can help you "think" in black-and-white and quickly learn through experience how the monochromatic image transforms the nature of a composition. And you can immediately see how any contrast-control filter alters a scene.Finally, shooting in black-and-white is a way to get out of a bad habit that's become widespread among digital photographers. Too many (myself included) rely on the abilities of Photoshop to save a picture after the fact. But any pro will tell you that your original should be accurately exposed in the first place to keep post-processing to a minimum. If you are unsure if your final image should be color or black-and-white, shoot it both ways, or shoot a RAW file if you can.Virtual FiltersIn the physical world, black and white contrast filters are colored filters that are used to control the relative contrast of different colored elements within the frame when shot in black-and-white. Many digital cameras can emulate this effect. Let's take a look at a scene with many colors--most primary, to emphasize the differences--and see exactly how color contrast-control filters work. Note: These were done digitally using the monochrome settings on a Canon EOS 20D, but the glass-filtered shots would look virtually identical.

Section 16(h)(1)(F) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act), as amended by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79), provides $200 million for the development, implementation, and evaluation of up to ten pilot projects designed to reduce dependency and increase work effort under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
These pilots allow USDA and State partners to test a number of existing and new employment and training (E&T) activities in order to increase the number of SNAP work registrants who obtain unsubsidized employment, increase earned income, and reduce reliance on public assistance. Pilot projects may be in effect for up to three years.
FNS will publish a Request for Applications (RFA) by August 2014 and State SNAP agencies will have at least 90 days to respond to the RFA. FNS will award funding in the form of cooperative agreements and announce grantees by February 2015.
The Act requires an independent longitudinal evaluation of each pilot project in order to measure the impact of E&T programs and services on the ability of participants to obtain and retain employment. FNS will select the independent evaluation contractor through a separate solicitation.

Another example of PC madness in our country. Perp runs down a police officer during a stop and evades police by wading into the nearby river, then holds them at bay with a stick for a 3 hour standoff.
As our police here are unarmed, and this didnt warrent an armed response. The following unfolded....WHAT A JOKE.
Cost of an X25 Taser inc holster ($1300 NZ)Acting Hamilton City area commander Inspector Karen Henrikson said Waikato police do not have Tasers so the Eagle police helicopter flew one from Auckland.
Cost of helicopter to fly one out ($1000 NZ)
Cost of a Glock 17 and holster ($1200 NZ
Apprently they deployed the taser, explained to the perp what its effects were and then put the red dot on him and he gave up.
Would have been much easier for them to lasoo the guy, attach him to a truck and pull him out. Or explain to him what a Glock 17 is capable of doing to him.
The officer (who was dragged) is in hospital and is expected to make full recovery.
How much is this mad way of policing costing us the tax payer ???

Losing our lakes
A worried officer tells of the enormous struggle to protect state lakes. Updated Jun. 25, 2010
Officials in Minnesota's vacationland can't say 'no' to those who want to break the rules. Since 2005, land-use boards in Cass and Crow Wing counties allowed hundreds of home builders to break rules aimed at preserving the state's most valuable natural resource, according to a Star Tribune review of thousands of pages of building records.

Part 2: Lake Independence was supposed to be Minnesota's first success in the Clean Water program. Instead, it was our first failure.
Eight years after Lake Independence was declared 'impaired,' however, the water remains almost as polluted as ever. A $410,000 grant was largely spent on less effective urban projects such as rain gardens after farmers and livestock owners declined to participate in the cleanup.

A worried officer tells of the enormous struggle to protect state lakes.
Cary Shoutz is one of 191 enforcement agents who are supposed to protect 12,000 lakes from safety and environmental violation. But some conservation officials, including Shoutz, say their forces have been been stretched by stagnant staffing during a 30-year boom in lakefront development. "I think we should be worried," he says.
House size, lot size, ground cover and distance to the water affect lakes.

Yes, yes. Fangirl is the word. *sighs* Um... Name=Carissa. I'm new to AO. I would have joined earlier (months ago) if I hadn't been so stubborn. My friends kept telling me to join and I kept saying I didn't have time... But... I do. And I was bored. And THANK THE LORD, this isn't just another "OMG ANIME IS SO COOL!" thing. That's why I've been having such trouble joining. Most anime forums seem to be made by people who have no clue what they're doing. *hopes this will end up being a good one* Welp, guess I'll hop on over to other threads and welcome other noobs. ^.^

This place is quite on the contrary not the most anime oriented maybe, world wide and philosophical questions arise quite often and video games, anime and such are but in the background...though everyone here is attatched by the same thing: ANIME XD
So welcome newcomer and feel free to browse away and go wild, but not too wild as mods lurk around if not posting a warning, moving things around or downright banning...so beware being anarchist over here XD

Kirk alert, answering questions after stroke
U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk is alert, answering questions and following commands days after a weekend stroke that led doctors to remove part of his skull to relieve pressure caused by brain swelling, his neurosurgeon Richard Fessler said Tuesday.
"He's doing better than I expected he would be doing at this point," Fessler said at a news conference at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. "He is completely oriented and he follows commands very briskly."
Doctors have removed Kirk's breathing tube, and he is lightly sedated. Although he remains in serious condition, Fessler said Kirk has been able to recognize others, acknowledge what is happening around him and speak in sentences.
"He asked for his BlackBerry yesterday," Fessler said.
Fessler stressed, however, that the senator still faces a long recovery.
He is moving his left side "very little" and has slight left-sided facial paralysis that has caused his speech to be slurred, Fessler said.
Kirk is expected to stay in intensive care for about a week so doctors can monitor his brain swelling. As that goes down, Fessler said, doctors expect to be able to reattach the section of his skull in about two weeks or possibly longer.

How many hours/days per week do you spend in clinical?
0Jan 18, '13 by Skips, BSN, RNI'm just wondering. (:
I am in Med/Surg 2 in a BSN program. We go to the hospital 2 days per week, 9 hour days each. I'm on a cardiac progressive care unit, so anything can happen. It's great! We also have two observation days built in. I go next week to observe in the OR and in-patient wound care. We also have a community day where we go to the homeless shelter and do some teaching at different stations. So, really, we have 5 more weeks of hospital clinical left aside from the community/obs days.
What about you? -
0Jan 18, '13 by CamwillI am not really sure how it is going to work this semester. We have clinicals for 10 hours one day, heard we are going to get to patients this semester. We have another 10 hour day at the sims lab I love our sims lab, once I know how it will be spent I will come back and let you know. This semester we are doing ob, peds, and med surg.
0Jan 18, '13 by kaydensmom01I'm in my last semester and have med-surg 3 and peds. We have 1 clinical for each class per week. Peds is 7 hr clinical and med surg is 8 hrs.
0Jan 18, '13 by RNstudent13reneeIn my program we get 6 clinical days for this semester. I wish we got more. I'm just starting, this is my first semester but still. We get one day in the nursing home, and the rest are on the floor of a hospital except for an observation day in the OR. They're 8 hour days. I'm hoping the further we go the more time we get in the hospital.
0Jan 18, '13 by aachavezFor Fundamentals, Med Surg 1 and 2, we had 1 12 hour day a week, for 10 weeks, 120 hours per quarter (4 quarters a year)
I kinda wish it was 2 shorter days a week, but getting it all knocked outt in one day does have its benefits too. In MS 1, we also did some community out reach stuff, which was really cool. Will have to do some again this term in MS 2, but will be on our own time. Fortunately we only need about 2 hours for this assignment. I'm probably going to head to the free clinic and volunteer some time there. -
0Jan 18, '13 by StephalumpWe have one 10 hour day per week in the hospital and then our extra rotations (like psych and community health) that are varying lengths of time. We have about 144 hours of clinical per semester.

The First Tee of Essex county held the first ever Special Olympics level one competition on October 18, 2014.
Essex County,NJ
The First Tee of Essex county held the first ever Special Olympics level one competition on October 18, 2014.
In August of 2006, The First Tee of Essex County was formed through a partnership between the Metropolitan Golf Association, New Jersey PGA and New Jersey State Golf Association. Located at Weequahic Park Golf Course in the heart of Newarks South Ward, our organization converted a blighted former dumping site into our beautiful Junior Learning Facility to serve the youth of Essex County. This facility is a versatile practice area that can be used for short game instruction, a limited flight driving range and a three-hole short course to introduce youth people to the game and its positive values.
Click on the corresponding program for more information about each:
Students begin at The First Tee in Target Level and that progress through PLAYer, Par, Birdie and Eagle Levels. This past year, Ace Level was created with an emphasis on leadership, community service, game improvement, and career planning.
The First Tee of Essex County has reached hundreds of young people since its founding, with plans for expanded opportunity and programming. Additional participants are recruited from local organizations including:
TEAM Academy | Boys and Girls Club of Newark | Newark Extended Day School Programs |
Newark Now | Irvington Housing Authority | USGA/LPGA Girls Golf of Greater Newark |
Please e-mail email@example.com, to get more information about individual sign-ups or getting your group enrolled in classes of The First Tee.
Weequahic Park is the oldest public golf course in New Jersey, with the original 9 of its current 18 holes dating to 1913, and is part of the historic Essex County Parks System. Francis Byrne Golf Course in West Orange and Hendricks Field Golf Course in Belleville are two other wonderful public facilities owned and operated by Essex County. The County has been extremely generous in giving our participants access to all of these courses, and our partnership has been critical to the success of our efforts.

After more than three decades together, actors Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman have separated, DeVito's rep confirmed to ABCNews.com today.
DeVito, 67, and Perlman, 64, married in January 1982 and have three children together. They met in 1970 after Perlman went to see a friend in the Broadway play "The Shrinking Bride" and ended up charmed by DeVito, who was also in the production.
In a 1983 interview with People magazine, Perlman said DeVito "was a lot more fun and a lot more sexy" than men she had previously dated. DeVito recalled, "She was vibrant, with a great sense of humor, and real warm." The two moved in together after two weeks.
After 13 years as a couple, Perlman told People their relationship was so solid, "you'd really have to work hard at breaking us up at this point." Years later, when asked about the secret to his enduring marriage, DeVito reportedly replied, "Love. Love. I mean, really. You know what? Who knows. The secret to success is to try to never figure that out."

We have had a great spring, blessed with good rains early on. We were able to get the garden in early enough. We got a fine first cutting of hay. We have had good sales at the two farmer's markets we attend (Ashland and the one Whole Foods puts on.) We have just taken three Beltie steers to the butcher and see increasing interest in our grass fed beef. We bought a few more cows this spring and our herd is growing. We have a mixed bunch, pure bred Belted Galloway, some pure bred Red Angus, a Red Angus bull and a few cross bred calves. We have found a beautiful field to rent with excellent facilities and the cattle are happy. This gives us better ability for controlling the breeding seasons and pasture health by now having several fields for cattle. Speaking of fields and animals, we had a busy winter doing fence work here making more fields safe for horses and our new equine friends, the miniature donkeys. We met and made arrangements with a gentleman moving from his farm into a retirement home to board his herd of 18 miniature donkeys and the two merino sheep that he loves so dearly. What cool animals!
Please come see us at the farmers markets. Call us to come visit the farm and see some animals. We have great pastured farm fresh eggs and offer an egg subscription to families or individuals who are regular egg eaters. We have a summer sale on one gallon perennials, many good looking great performers for Virginia gardens. And sign up for our fall beef harvest. Call or email for pricing. Thank you all for your support, Bruce.

I have a question related to this...
Lets say things got ugly inside of Babies R Us and you were forced to take action with your firearm. Granted the signs hold no legal weight, would it somehow be easier for the state, or store owner, or victim to mount a case against you? Something like, "Well he was not even supposed to be carrying inside the store and it is posted."
I am not familiar with the law, but I am guessing the fact that you had witnessed the sign is not the same as the store owner notifying you personally that carrying was prohibited within his store therefore you would be trespassing?
I live in GA so I would like to fully understand this law before getting my GWL.
Just as goldshellback says above, as long as you can articulate the need to use your firearm, then it doesn't matter that the business is posted as it is not on the list of off limits locations set forth by the state. If your actions are found to be justified then you would also be protected by Georgia law from any civil lawsuits stemming from such an incident.
You should definitely take a look at Georgia Carry : An information clearinghouse for Georgia Firearms License issues and news, the group responsible for the tremendous leaps made in regards to Georgia's carry laws in the last half decade. They have been the driving force behind having old, purposely vague, laws removed and in getting a set list of restricted places that do not change depending on the city, county, officer or DA involved. They have also successfully brought legal action against municipalities who chose to ignore the state's preemption of gun laws.
If you like what you see and would like to become a member, you can do so for $15/yr.
Goldshellback is correct that GeorgiaPacking.Org is also a good resource and if you spend a little time reading and searching there then you will see that any question you may have has been asked and answered, in detail. Many times you'll find answers from those who helped to craft the law, or spend time in Atlanta helping to get them passed, as well as from attorneys and LEOs who are experienced in the subject. I do caution you that it seems to me that there are a few "in house trolls" who now reside there and seem to take up quite a bit of space with their childish look at me posts and pointless attacks and arguments. Ignore them and you will find it a good place to learn more about Georgia's changing laws, the history behind them and how you can help improve them.

PODCAST: Dodd-Frank digitizes
This morning, the U.S. Labor Department released the latest Consumer Price Index. That indicator of inflation was up only slightly. More on that. And banks have about nine months until they'll have to comply with what's called The Volcker Rule. That's the part of Dodd-Frank that's named after Paul Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman. The Volcker Rule says banks cannot own hedge funds or invest for their own benefit. They'll have to stick to helping their customers make money. Simple as it may sound, the Volcker Rule is incredibly complex. But banks have a new tool to help them implement it.

Governors are winning the TV ad race
Everybody's focused on the races for Senate seats in the November election. But it turns out more money is being spent on TV ads in gubernatorial races. All you have to do is look at the numbers.
"As of the 9th of October, to date we have about $426 million spent on gubernatorial campaign ads," says Michael Franz, a professor of government at Bowdoin College and co-director of the Wesleyan Media Project, which also tracks spending on TV ads for Senate campaigns this election. Franz says about $337 million has been spent on Senate races — $90 million less than the spending on gubernatorial races.
Why? Franz says the tightest Senate contests are in relatively cheap media markets, like Iowa. But money is also pouring into the governors' races because of the gridlock in Washington.
"People think governors can get something done," says Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University. "They have no hope that anything is going to get done in the congress, which has approval ratings lower than Attila the Hun."
The result? Almost 22,000 TV ads in a recent two-week period, in just the gubernatorial race in Florida.
Dodd-Frank spawns software to comprehend Dodd-Frank
Donald Lamson points to a red and blue maze on a screen at law firm Shearman and Sterling.
"This is a maze," says Donald Lamson, a partner at Shearman and Sterling. "It's a metaphor to reflect the complexity that institutions must go through as they encounter an increasingly bewildering array of regulatory requirements they must deal with."
Banks have until July 21, 2015, to follow one of those requirements, the Volcker Rule.
That is the part of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that says banks can't own hedge funds or invest for their own benefit; they have to stick to just helping their customers make money.
"I wrote the first draft," Lamson recalls, "which was a page and a half."
It is not, however, a page and a half anymore.
"The final regulation implementing the Volcker Rule has ballooned to several hundred pages of small type in the federal register," he says. There are hundreds of footnotes, some of them quite detailed.
There are also a great many gray areas and exceptions for when activities are allowed or not allowed, says Mike Konczal, a fellow with the Roosevelt Institute.
"Volcker and Dodd-Frank wanted to make sure that banks could still do what we want them to do — interact with clients, do market making, buy and sell things for their clients — and what happens is a lot of that activity kind of blurs with proprietary trading," he says. Another reason the rules have become complicated is that, simply put, a lot of people have sued. The rules have had to become extra detailed to pass scrutiny.
"These rules from Dodd-Frank have come under extensive criticism in the courts," says Konczal. "We want that kind of scrutiny it's important to have it, but it's become so obsessive and so burdensome that it's actually made the rules a lot clunkier than they need to be."
For banks with hundreds of billions of dollars in thousands of different funds, compliance is a massive undertaking. This summer, the Federal Reserve said 11 out of 20 banks totally failed to meet the last big chunk of Dodd-Frank rules, in part because they weren't thorough enough or made mistakes in their reporting. In some instances, some financial institutions had a 70% error rate according to Robert Marks, CEO of Casewise Financial Solutions and Lamson's business partner.
Lamson and Marks' solution: a computer program, called the Volcker Assistant. It is, for all intents and purposes, like a Turbo Tax for banks trying to comply with financial regulations.
Step by step, the software leads Lamson — who would in the real world be likely hundreds of different people across a large company from a fund manager on up to an auditor — through an assessment of which investments pass legal muster and which do not. A lawyer signs off at the end.
Once the program figures out whether a bank is following the rules, it remains as "a management tool", says Lamson — calculating legal exposure based on changing circumstances (a credit downgrade, for example).
There is at least one other such automated legal compliance tool on the market, called the Volcker Portal by firm Davis Polk.
"Software use has just not penetrated in the legal profession as it has in other professions at this point such as banking for example where it really has saturated the space," says Lamson.
"Lawyers have a way, if they want to, of obfuscating, where the answer to so many questions begins with, 'it depends.' It's used as a device to preserve options," he says. "Digitizing and rendering into computer based format removes those options. And as a result, the fear among lawyers is that they will become less relevant to the process when actually they will become even more relevant."
History may prove Lamson right. One section of law where digital tools have penetrated more successfully is in discovery — searching through documents for evidence before a law suit gets going. Highly sophisticated algorithmic tools that could search documents better and faster began gaining prominence several years ago, and raised the specter of lawyers losing jobs to software programs.
"Just a few years ago, we had hyperbolic headlines of 'will computers replace your lawyer?' and there seemed to be a fear among lawyers of technology and what it might do to the legal profession," says David Horrigan, an analyst and counsel for information governance at 451 Research. That fear has not come to pass, he says. "That fear is still the case with a lot of lawyers, but a lot of law firms are embracing it," he says.
Teams of junior lawyers may not be digging through boxes of paper as they once did, but lawyers are still needed to work with the data and legal questions that digital tools raise.
"The law is changing," says Horrigan. "But as far as trying a case you're not gonna see Watson before the Supreme Court any time soon."
Yes, U.S. oil exports would cut gas prices. Probably.
A report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office says that lifting 40-year-old restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil could drive down gasoline prices at home. The idea is that more oil on the world market means lower prices.
However, the report was written more than a month ago — That is, before world oil prices, and U.S. gasoline prices, went down sharply on their own. It's worth asking if those declines change the equation.
In a way, U.S. crude is already affecting world markets, by reducing U.S. imports. That leaves oil exporters like Nigeria looking for takers and lowering their prices. So, do world markets really want U.S. crude right now?
"Nobody can be certain," says energy consultant Geoffrey Styles. "We're really exploring new territory here. The new crudes that have brought all this about came to the market when prices were pretty high. These are not-inexpensive crudes to get out of the ground."
So, it might not be worthwhile for U.S. drillers to increase production if world prices stay low.
Which is still an if.
"I don't think anyone knows what the price of oil will be in a year," says Michael Levi, senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations. "The big news in the oil markets is not just lower prices — it's the return of volatility, and volatility works in both directions."
Either way, it's not an argument for keeping the export ban. "In the worst case," he says, "relaxing the ban doesn't do anything."

I've got two Commander length 1911s but they're set up differently. The Nighthawk T3 is a CCO configuration and the other is an unaltered blue Colt 1991. Close enough that the Colt is put back as a redundant backup. At some point I'll add another Colt Commander so the two are more closely identical.
To me it makes perfect sense to have a matching backup that's identical in case the primary goes out of service (at the 'smith, damaged parts, etc). It'd be nice if I could afford another matching T3 but that's not gonna happen in this lifetime.

"Just blame Sixto"
I have owned - and still do - MANY guns (rifles, handguns & shotguns) and found that over the years I liked a number of them so much that I wanted to have more than one. Having a second or third BUG gives me a duplicate replacement when the primary is "down" which doesn't require me to learn the specifics and procedures of a different weapon. It also allows me to use the same parts and accessories for more than one gun. I currently have three guns/calibers where I have more than one copy of the gun.

It has been said that if one is ever involved in a defensive shooting, your carry weapon will be taken by law enforcement, and will be kept as evidence until after any court proceedings. It is because of this one would want to keep an exact second of the carry weapon as to be able to continue to carry, without having to switch holsters and carry gear, as well as it is the same weapon one has trained with.

Interesting reading, but the chapters were very long.
Oct 28, 2010
This tells about how so many of our people today are working so hard just to get by, and how there must be changes made to help these poor Americans.
Oct 22, 2009
This book was required for school; it is really a good book to help those working for minimum wage. It gives an understanding to what society thinks of the lower class.
Sep 24, 2007
Seeing how the other side lives without the fear. She tries to see and emanulate the poor woorking class by pretending she is a poor person who struggles for a living. She tries hard but she has a saftey net of being wealthy so she does get a small taste of poverty but never does she put herself in the danger poor must live everyday. She lived in safe housing and drove to work. She did not mention mixing with other people that have tendencies towards violence. She gets some of the feelings of the working poor right but she really misses the big picture of the oppression the working classes feel everyday.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

At the end of a trip intended

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which hath been decreed concerning her; | 1 Later when the anger of King Xerxes had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her. |
2 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance, | 2 Then the king's personal attendants proposed, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. |
3 and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman -- virgin, of good appearance -- unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications, | 3 Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring all these beautiful girls into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let beauty treatments be given to them. |
4 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so. | 4 Then let the girl who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." This advice appealed to the king, and he followed it. |
5 A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite -- | 5 Now there was in the citadel of Susa a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin, named Mordecai son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, |
6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed -- | 6 who had been carried into exile from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, among those taken captive with Jehoiachin king of Judah. |
7 and he is supporting Hadassah -- she [is] Esther -- daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter. | 7 Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This girl, who was also known as Esther, was lovely in form and features, and Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died. |
8 And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women, | 8 When the king's order and edict had been proclaimed, many girls were brought to the citadel of Susa and put under the care of Hegai. Esther also was taken to the king's palace and entrusted to Hegai, who had charge of the harem. |
9 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions -- to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided -- to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women. | 9 The girl pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her beauty treatments and special food. He assigned to her seven maids selected from the king's palace and moved her and her maids into the best place in the harem. |
10 Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare [it]; | 10 Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had forbidden her to do so. |
11 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her. | 11 Every day he walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her. |
12 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her -- according to the law of the women -- twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women, | 12 Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics. |
13 and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king; | 13 And this is how she would go to the king: Anything she wanted was given her to take with her from the harem to the king's palace. |
14 in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name. | 14 In the evening she would go there and in the morning return to another part of the harem to the care of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the king unless he was pleased with her and summoned her by name. |
15 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther -- daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter -- to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her. | 15 When the turn came for Esther (the girl Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her. |
16 And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month -- it [is] the month of Tebeth -- in the seventh year of his reign, | 16 She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. |
17 and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to reign instead of Vashti, | 17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. |
18 and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and his servants -- the banquet of Esther -- and a release to the provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the king. | 18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther's banquet, for all his nobles and officials. He proclaimed a holiday throughout the provinces and distributed gifts with royal liberality. |
19 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king; | 19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate. |
20 Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him. | 20 But Esther had kept secret her family background and nationality just as Mordecai had told her to do, for she continued to follow Mordecai's instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up. |
21 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold,) and they seek to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus, | 21 During the time Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, became angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes. |
22 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the name of Mordecai, | 22 But Mordecai found out about the plot and told Queen Esther, who in turn reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai. |
23 and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the Chronicles before the king. | 23 And when the report was investigated and found to be true, the two officials were hanged on a gallows. All this was recorded in the book of the annals in the presence of the king. |

I have a south-facing shallow slope on the side of my house, and we don't have fence between the side yard and our neighbor's driveway. I'm thinking to dig out strip of the lawn (3-4' wide x 24' long), and plant low hedge, preferably not more than 3'-5' tall. Any suggestions? Since it's on the shallow slope, far away from outdoor water faucet, and get lots of sun, I would like to pick the drought torrent plants. Thought of ceanothus or lavendar, but they will attract bees, and neighbor wouldn't like that since they use the garage/driveway daily. Would rosemary be a good choice? Or maybe rock rose? I would appreciate any suggestions or advice! Thanks! -b

You could also consider nandina ... or maybe even a grass like pampas grass. |
You might be better off not digging but just spraying the area with glysophate. Way easier and your not disturbing worms. An upright boxwood could work. Mulch where you don't weeds to grow. |

WHY? I have only one zucchini plant that has just bloomed & bloomed & bloomed. But the blooms all fall off and no babies. The stems look like they were snipped off. There are no chew marks or other obvious evidence of bugs.
What's happening? This is the only squash I planted. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do any of those fallen blooms have little squash attached to them? If they don't, then your plant is still only producing male flowers. Chances are, the female flowers will soon follow. George |

Ask Slashdot: Developer Or Software Engineer? Can It Influence Your Work?
Will it influence work? (333 comments)
Thanks for all the feedback so far; I'm quite happy about the quality of this discussion. Avoiding for now the perhaps unavoidable consideration of legality, I'm interested in hearing about the influence the title decision might have on how the talent actually performs their work. To what degree does the choice influence the technical culture? How do the roles contrast when both are present on a team in cultural and technical terms where you work? If I'm being frank about the question, it goes like this: Will a young developer start to think about their work more robustly if I tell them that that we are grooming them for Software Engineering vs. Software Development?
